Just picked this up at Interstate. Should be a fun project, 😁

 

I gave up on my phone. It must need some decrapifying...then a blocker that works. It's almost unusable for internet. Not sure how anyone can deal with them anymore..

Doubt IPhone would be any better. Perhaps look into that later.

DT and LT are both fine thankfully.

 

A wad of plastic?

 

This pic didn't make it on the last post for some reason. Must've hit submit before it loaded. (Sumb!tch took up the whole back of the Escape).

 

A new instrument cluster bezel
Nice

 

Whoooooa... it's gotten worse since I last looked.

 

I read it wrong anyway. Thought you said you picked it up off the interstate. As in , -side of the highway.

Yeah, that didn't help either.

Regardless...nice bezel

 

 

Take enough measurements before removing the old..keep it as square as possible.

The front end may spring cutting that section out.

Good luck white

 

I might be brain dead in thinking this.... but I'm damn near inclined to see if I can't just replace the bottom portion of it. Hmmm.... nah, I just talk myself back out of it. Go big or go home.

HD sells Fluid Film and undercoating. So that is acquired now. I need to stop in to Superior Paint and get a can of teal mixed up now. I love that place...

====================

I plan on "attempting" to leave the hood on the truck. Along with several measurements, I also am thinking that if I can leave the hood exactly as it is, and get the hood to latch/line up with the new core, I'll be home free with the fenders.
